Gospel Saints to work on defence

The Gospel Saints Under 15 team will need to improve on their defence before they headed to Churchill Park, Lautoka for the Vodafone Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby League (FSSRL) national semi-finals.

They will take on Central Storm in the semi-final.

The Saints defeated Ba Pro Dragons, 14-6, in last Saturday’s quarter-final match at Buckhurst Park, Suva while Central Storm won closely against Marist Storm, 20-18.

Saints team manager Donald Reece told SUNsports they would lift their preparation going into the top four clash.

He said it was the first time for the side to make it to the national semifinals.

“We will work on our defence and try to also adapt to the weather since we are going to the West,” Reece said.

“We won’t take our opponent lightly. We will be going against the number one rank from the Western Division.

Reece said his team would need to manage and control their game wisely.

“The boys performed really well last week,” he said.

“We played and executed what we need to do against Ba Pro despite of the ground conditions.”

He encourages all fans of Gospel High School to support the team in Lautoka.

“We would like to invite all the ex-scholar’s, parents and supporters to come out in numbers to support Gospel under 15 rugby league team,” he said.
